New general manager Brian Gutekunst raised a lot of eyebrows and did a really good job in his first NFL Draft. He gave himself a first rounder for 2019 — a draft that will include plenty of pass rushers.
However, he forgot that one thing when completing the draft. The first pass rusher for the Packers by position wasn’t taken until the seventh round, but James Looney isn’t a true pass rusher and is more of a plug-and-play hybrid type.
“The value of the players that we picked were just higher valued players than the pass rushers that were on the board,” Gutekunst said.
